'''"Bodies"''' is a [[2001 in music|2001]] [[Single (music)|single]] by [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Drowning Pool]] from their [[debut album]] ''[[Sinner (album)|Sinner]]''. "Bodies" has an anthemic, repetitive [[chorus]] of "Let the bodies hit the floor!" The song is Drowning Pool's most popular single and has been featured in various films, TV programs, and advertising since its release.
Drowning Pool [[frontman]] [[Dave Williams (musician)|Dave Williams]] stated during an interview on ''[[Uranium (TV series)|Uranium]]'' that the song is about being in a [[mosh pit]] but that it has clearly been misinterpreted. Much like the song's radio success, the "Bodies" [[music video]] found significant airplay on various music channels in 2001. It has the band performing in what appears to be a [[mental institution]], with Williams screaming the lyrics into the ear of a man strapped to a chair. The director of the video was [[Glen Bennett]]. Clips of the video are featured in the title animation for the music program ''Uranium''.
After the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], radio stations owned by media conglomerate [[Clear Channel]] voluntarily refused to play "Bodies," or [[List of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks|several other similarly popular songs]].
This song was also in a mixed cd released by Footwear company Jorneys along with the song "[[Start the Commotion]]" by [[The Wiseguys]].
